My honey this year seems to be setting within a few days of extracting, this is causing me problems.
According to Hooper, honey can be kept runny long term by treating it the following way:
Put the honey in buckets and allow to set solid.
Heat bucket to 52c for 2 days which should make it runny again.
Strain to remove undissolved crystals
Put in jars and then heat honey to 62c for one hour in a water bath.
Honey will stay runny for 6-9 months.
Does the above work?
Antone got any alternatives??
